In this two-day workshop you will be transforming household packaging into playful prints using the magic of printmaking.
Suitable for beginners and more seasoned printmakers looking to explore collagraphs. It is also super for educators as it translates well into a classroom.
An informal and relaxed workshop.
By the end of the two days, you will have:
*Learned how to prepare and translate an image into both an intaglio and relief collagraph and their differences.
* How to manipulate the packaging with different tools and techniques to achieve tonal variation with contrasting linear mark making
*How to ink the plate for both intaglio and relief and how to combine the two
*Which paper to choose and how to prepare them along with plate registration and good working practice in achieving a clean result.
*Printing with a press
*Explored different papers for Chine Collé and incorporated them into our prints (a process of adding colour to your prints through collaging paper into your print)
*Designed, made, inked and printed a collection of original print using both intaglio and relief inking with Chine Collé.
About the Artist:
Marian Haf Works from her garden studio in her native corner of Ceredigion taking inspiration from her life in rural west Wales. A fine art painting graduate and self-taught printmaker, she works predominantly with collagraph enjoying its accessibility and possibilities. Marian works by tearing and drawing into mount board, which is inked intaglio, resulting in soft tonal depth punctuated by sharp lines and staccato dots often combining it with embossing.
